Chapter 148 . Former Hero Goes to Explore the Labyrinth

The morning went as usual .
Rithina was hugging my head . I woke up with my face buried in her breasts .

I remembered holding Rithina and Tanya before I went to sleep . It seemed that somehow I sunk down and got sucked in by her breasts while I was asleep .

Let’s wake Rithina as well by sucking on her nipple .

Mugu mugu .

[Nn… . . ]

Sticking to the top of her breast, I played it around with my tongue, rolling and lapping until Rithina woke up .

My eyes feasted upon the wide array of her exposed skin .
Savoring the mysterious taste of her breast with my mouth .
Holding her back and butt with my hands .
My thighs wrapped around her legs .
I can’t see it, but I can sense Kagura-san snuggling on my back .

It’s a bliss .
Is there another word to describe this better than bliss?

Wahaha .

However, after this blissful wake up, I felt slightly sad that I’ll be away from them for a while after this .

I don’t care anymore about exploring labyrinth and mining magic stones .

The labyrinth should just come to me .

… . . can I really complain though?
I felt like a kid running out of time on his favorite ride .

A hero should fulfill the expectations placed on him!
However, now that he’s a former hero, he should only fulfill the expectation of his wives .

And, when I just renewed my determination to depart today to explore the labyrinth, I sensed yet another reaction .

[Nn?]

Releasing my mouth from Rithina’s breasts to look around, I found Celes who woke up much earlier than she usually does .

[Ah, good morning Celes . That’s earlier than usual]

[Ah, yes . Well, this, I’m just being excited with today’s labyrinth exploration . ]

Fuhn?

Are you an elementary student excited for an outdoor excursion?

Cute!

That’s not it .

Didn’t she hide something behind her back just now?
What are you trying to hide?

[Nn~… . ]

When I tried to reach out to find out what Celes is hiding, all of a sudden, Kagura-san stretched her arms out .

[Cold…]

It’s a bit weird to say that the cold season has already passed, but Kagura-san pulled my body, seeking for warmth after waking up still buck-naked .

Hiee .

Kagura-san, are you kidding me here?
I’m definitely getting very warm down there though .

Ah, strength is leaving my body . Really now .
That thought crossed my mind before my libido went full throttle .

I could be careless about what Celes was trying to hide . That thought disappeared from my head as I enjoyed Kagura-san’s hand caressing my member .

I decided to relish the morning of my departure day .

=====
――――――――――

[Well then, I’m going . ]

It was in the afternoon .

I greeted everyone who came to see me off with some lingering fatigue .
Was 1 round in the morning a bit too much?

Not everyone will join the labyrinth exploration .
The group that will be accompanying to the labyrinth consisted of Celes, Tanya, Leon and Elcure .

It’s an interesting party composition if I had to say so myself .

Aside from Celes and Tanya, Leon tagged along as a part of his training .
Apparently he saw the need to improve himself and thus offered to come with me .

Honestly, I don’t want to be in the same party with another male, but as a mentor figure, I just had to bite the bullet .

Oh well, that’s that .

The problem here is Elcure .

She doesn’t really have to follow me but I’m anxious about leaving her unattended in the town as well .
I thought that she won’t cause any trouble even if I’m not around but just in case, I’d rather keep her within my reach .

It’s purely anxiousness and no other evil intentions .

[Haruto-kun . Don’t forget to stop by the adventurer guild first . ]

[Yeah . No worries . ]

Rithina advised me .

It’s because the adventurer guild would also post a request to explore the labyrinth .
Just as ordered .

That request was created under my name .
Posted a request under my name, and taking it myself so that we can explore the labyrinth .

I don’t know why I need to do that, but it’s the system . Even if it’s a bit awkward .

However, if I don’t follow these steps, many things will come to inconvenience me later on . So I suppose I had no other choice .

[Good luck!]

[Don’t forget to bring back souvenirs . ]

[Be careful . ]

[Take care . ]

[Godspeed . ]

Sharon, Laurier, Mina, Kagura-san, and Aura each sent me off with their own versions of farewell .

Sharon actually wanted to join the labyrinth exploration, but she gave up the thought since she had something else she wanted to do .

Laurier is wearing a maid uniform for some reason . Recently, she seemed to have awakened to the path of maids and even becoming Mina’s apprentice somehow . I really have no idea why .
Perhaps Sharon wanted to do a similar thing?

Mina bowed deeply with a beautiful posture and perfection, as usual .
Laurier’s path will be harsh, but do your best .

Kagura-san said that she’ll probably craft something once the magic stone supply arrives, so she’s going to prepare in advance .

As for Aura, she’ll instruct the knights alongside Yunikram .

Other than that, Kyaron has also been accepted as a church official, so she’ll be quite busy with various things from now on .

Most of that were based on Rithina’s assignment .
I’ll just leave the managing in her good hands .

[Well then, I’m going . I leave the town in your care . ]

After exchanging a few more words, we finally went on our way .

=====
――――――――――

[So this is the carriage . ]

After taking the request to explore the labyrinth at the adventurers guild, we were taken by Etna to the town’s entrance where our carriage is waiting .

The prepared carriage is actually much better than any other carriage I’ve seen running around here but of course, it still cannot be compared to Kurato .

The job, this time, is small-scale so we decided to not use Kurato .
It belonged to the royal family anyways .

However, as I’ve already been spoiled by Kurato’s accommodations, it’s a bit disappointing .
Not that I mind .

[Next, this is the labyrinth exploration permit . ]

Saying so, Etna handed me a piece of paper .
Looks similar to the border pass paper . At least the format is .

[Yes . Thank you . ]

I took the permit .
Not forgetting to make direct contact with Etna-san’s fingers in the process .

[Ah . ]

When our fingers touched, Etna-san blushed a little, turning her eyes downward .

I can feel it .
Something has been achieved .

I’m steadily climbing the stairs here .

I was on track, I thought as I kept holding Etna-san’s hand .

Deheheh .

[Eh, ermm… that . Haruto-san and everyone as well . Please take care in your labyrinth exploration]

Since there is no Sharon to stop me, I’m doing as I wish with Etna-san . Etna-san continued on despite some stuttering at the beginning .

But she refrained from shaking my hand .
That simple act would be enough to raise the tension even higher .

[Oi, don’t take your own sweet time!]

Ugh .

[Ooh!?]

[Kyaah?!]

It was Tanya who jumped behind my back and kicked me .

Is it luck disguised as misfortune? I was pushed forward by that kick, and hit Etna-san . After a series of movement, the scene ended up with me holding Etna-san so as not to let her fall down .

It’s a position where I’m in such a close proximity with Etna-san .

Tanya-chan, nice assist .

Her eyes moistened a little .
Silence .
Then a sighing voice reached my ears .

This, isn’t this the right moment for kiss? Should I go for it? This!
I should! Surely this is the moment!

Not .

[Pardon me . Are you okay?]

[Ah…ye, yes . I’m okay . Thank you . ]

If we were alone, then I would’ve gone all the way .

But Leon is with us now, right?

Should I act gentlemanly?

I don’t know what I’m thinking any more .

[… . . are you a beast?]
